An atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) is a well-recognized cardiac abnormality of uncertain clinical relevance and also associated with different cardiac and non-cardiac abnormality [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) is an uncommon lesion which often associates other cardiac abnormalities such as patent foramen ovale or mitral valve prolapse. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Left Ventricular Noncompaction

LVNC can be associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, but it can occur in isolation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This type of idiopathic cardiomyopathy is caused by the intrauterine arrest of compaction of the left ventricular endocardial myocytes in the absence of other cardiac abnormalities [medscape.com]
